Hi Kev,

Returning client here - you've done work for me before on my sub 12 .177. Im hoping to pick up a .22 FAC in the very near future, is a service/checkover something you could take care of? I have the serial number - the current owner reckons you worked on it last year sometime.

Cheers pal

Thanks for the call Kev - hopefully i'll get a reply from the seller and you can let me know the recent history. Service and set-up would be money well spent anyway I reckon.

Hi again Kev,

We spoke a couple of weeks ago regarding the "too good to be true" cheap Rapid, that has turned out to be just that... :(

I have managed to acquire another Mk2 in FAC thats in fairly good condition. Moderator isn't too great though, sounds like a bazooka, and I hear you are making some very quiet mods?

Anyway, id like to get it to you for a proper check over and set up and maybe a new moderator making. Im a couple of hours away but i'll be happy to drive over if this work can be done within the day? Happy to ring you tomorrow to discuss if thats ok mate?

Regards

Bob

Hey Kev,

Great to meet you again today, and you rattled thru my Rapid like someone who's done it before!

As soon as I get the stock oiled, i'll get it back together and get out with it.

Thanks for all your work today - that moderator is so quiet, when you dry fired it, I thought the bottle was empty!!

Cheers mate, really appreciate your hard work today.

Hi again Kev,

Guns shooting great, but I fancy having a fettle with my trigger. I much prefer two stage but this is pretty much single stage, and I have the time to mess with it.  I remember you said they were a pain to set up right, but can you remember what type of trigger it is so that I can try to get some info on it before i fettle it?

Lastly, I can't remember what the optimum charge was, can you remember? You ended up setting the power at 34ft lbs.

Thanks pal, appreciate your time.
